About
The Wyoming Toad Conservation Area was established in 2023 to protect and recover the endangered Wyoming toad in the Laramie Plains. This lumpy, two-inch-long amphibian faced a major decline in the 1970s due to habitat loss and Chytrid fungus. Today, the Service uses tools like captive breeding, grazing, and voluntary conservation easements to ensure the toad can once again thrive.
